Two things you won't be able to forget easily that occur in The Grey Zone are the final scene/conversation and the first few scenes the recovered girl is in. To pull those two scenes off without a shred of indifference is commendable as they are the sole beacons that some positive factors of humanity do exist in this film or in other words, the characters reality.

The casting choices are all wrong. Arquette is surprisingly not the big problem here. But it's jarring to see Buscemi and Keitel and Mira Sorvino in this context. And Nelson makes an odd choice to have the dialogue in clipped, Mamet-esque rhythms. One gets the sense that it was just something he always wanted to do, so why not do it here? The story does raise questions of morality, but this is really nothing new in Holocaust films, and has been done more effectively in films before and since.
